Separating, making arrangements for the children, or a conflict at work that has reached a deadlock: it all hits hard. There is a lot to arrange, while emotions often run high. As an MfN-registered mediator, I help you reach agreements calmly and carefully, agreements that everyone can stand behind. Human, but no-nonsense.
I am based in Badhoevedorp, right next to Amsterdam, and I conduct mediations in English as well as in Dutch.
How I can help
Divorce and family matters
Are you separating, whether you are married, in a registered partnership or living together? Then a lot comes your way at once: the divorce settlement agreement, the division of assets and debts, maintenance, the house and, if you have children, the parenting plan. I guide you through the entire process, from the first conversation to the documents that go to the lawyer and the court. Read more about divorce mediation.
The children
You remain their father or mother, whatever happens. Children did not ask for the divorce, and you want to prevent them from getting caught between two worlds. Together we draw up a parenting plan that works in everyday life. Read more about the children in a divorce.
Conflicts at work
A damaged working relationship, a conflict during sick leave or tension within a team: the sooner you address it, the better. With employment mediation we first work on restoring the working relationship. If that does not succeed, mediation helps you part ways properly. For disputes between shareholders, management or companies, there is business mediation.
How it works, in brief
- A free introduction. We see whether there is a click and map out your situation. This conversation is free of charge.
- The mediation agreement. We record how we will work, what it costs and that everything remains confidential.
- The sessions. All topics are put on the table and you look for solutions together. Three to five sessions of two hours are often enough.
- Putting it in writing. I put the agreements on paper, for example in a divorce settlement agreement and parenting plan, or in a settlement agreement.

Why DKM Mediation
- MfN-registered mediator. Listed in the quality register of the Dutch Mediators Federation (MfN), with specialisations in family and employment mediation. Why that matters.
- Experience as an entrepreneur. More than 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur and director in family businesses. I know what is at stake when a business is involved.
- At the office, at home or online. In my own meeting room in Badhoevedorp you meet on neutral ground; there is no extra charge for it and you park for free in front of the door. The sessions can also take place at your home or online.
- In English. Is English more comfortable for one of you, or do you have an international background? I conduct mediations in English as well.
- Clear fees. €195 per hour including VAT for divorce and family matters. In more than 75% of cases, the mediation costs between €1,500 and €2,500 in total. For a divorce, add €950 for the lawyer and the court fees. See the fees.
- The right network. I work with a lawyer who reviews and files the documents, and I share the front door with a mortgage adviser and an estate agent. Read more about my partners.
